John had a special event this past weekend. He set up a dodgeball tournament and I surprised him by both attending and taking photos (I was supposed to be with Vince in Ocean City).

Anyway, I took the photos and of course everyone wanted them posted right away. So, since I had to go through my memory card anyway, I finally uploaded a bunch of other albums that've been hanging out on my camera.

Plus, I really want to have a fresh memory card for our trip, so this "spring cleaning" was a must.

As I was going through the photos, I was struck by how wonderful of a summer this really was. I was blessed with a lot of good memories to temper some of the more frustrating / difficult parts.

So I want to share some of those photos with you fine folks. Many are from my iPhone, so forgive the graininess.

Gram (known as "GG" to Vince) celebrated another birthday with us. We're so blessed to still have her in our lives. She's a wonderful, beautiful woman.

Vince and I on a nature walk at the park and feeding the geese.

And realizing he's just too darn big for these swings anymore.

We had a surprise pool party for our friend, Jay. Here are some shots of the group (and me on the ground getting said shots of the group).

Recreation - I don't have the camera in my hands, but we had fun recreating this for posterity just the same.

Some Old Tyme Photos of Vince - we do these once a year at the end of the summer as tradition. This year he was a cowboy. Very Mal Reynolds for you Firefly fans out there.

Then just a bunch of randoms for the last two weeks.

Thanks for letting me share some fun. I appreciate all of you coming along for the ride.
